Two couples were
playing poker one evening. John accidentally dropped some cards on the floor. When he bent down under the table to
pick them up, he noticed Bill's wife Sue wasn't wearing any underwear under
her dress! Shocked by this, John, upon trying to sit back up again, hit
his head on the table and emerged red-faced.
Later, John went to the
kitchen to get some refreshments. Bill's wife Sue, followed and asked, "Did
you see anything that you liked under there?" Surprised by her
boldness, John courageously admitted that, well indeed he did. She said,
"Well, you can have it, but it will cost you $500." After taking a minute or
two to assess the financial and moral costs of this offer, John confirms
that he is interested. She tells him that since her husband Bill works
Friday afternoons and John doesn't, John should be at her house
around 2 PM Friday afternoon.
When Friday rolled around, John showed up at Bill's
house at 2 PM sharp and after paying Sue the agreed sum of $500 they went
to the bedroom and closed their transaction, as agreed. John quickly
dressed and left.
As usual, Bill came home from work at 6 p.m. and upon
entering the house, asked his wife abruptly. "Did John come by the house
this afternoon?" With a lump in her throat Sue answered "Why, yes,
he did stop by for a few minutes this afternoon." Her heart nearly skipped
a beat when her husband curtly asked, "And did he give you $500?" In
terror she assumed that somehow he had found out and after mustering her best
poker face, replied, "Well, yes, in fact he did give me $500! " Bill, with
a satisfied look on his face, surprised his wife by saying, "Good, I was
hoping he did. John came by the office this morning and borrowed $500 from
me. He promised me he'd stop by our house this afternoon on his way home and
pay me back."
Now THAT, my friends, is a poker player.
